Trickcry OF Cnttlo Growcrs.

How about the branding of calves,
Yes, that was. and is, Il f]avoritc lie
among the cattle Annually
the spring roundup starts Out. Say that
the books of the ranch show that there
should be 1000 cows on the range.
Without IL smile, without the slightest
druup of an cyclid, the cattle Owr
ard their cowboys report that the in
crease Of calves is SO per cent by actual
count, of the number Of cows the book
represents to be on the range. Every
man of them knows that if the book calls
fo" 1000 cows, that not more than $50 Of
them are alive and on the range. They
know that the rest lie dead in the forests,
or on the tanks of the foot hills, or in
rAvines whore they were showed under,
or on the arid plains. And every man
ON the roundup knows that net more
Tran 200 calves were branded and saved.
The lying report is given to the local
press (Which is supported by the cattle
growers that the Roaring Bull Cattle
Growing association has branded so per
cent. of calves, and editorial comment is
made on the great crop Of calves dropped,
and editorial congratulations are ex-
tended to the cattle growers on the pros
pvrlty OF their business. That evening,
after reading the paper, the cowboys and
cattle growers alike say: "Shovcpcn is Il
daisy. Here's TO him" and glasses are
lifted TO weather cracked lips and their
contents are tilted down alkaline burned
t"roats. Many cattle growers, who have
been driven out OF the business BY
heavy losses, have told me within the
past two months that not more thar 10
per c n of the COWS they actually owned
ever saved their calves. And one BRIGHT.

Order of American FIremen.

On the 10Th of September, 1856, an or
ganiHatiOn bearing the above name was
started by some of the most prominent fire
fighters OF the continent. The object of
the Order is first to get the tircmcn of North
America united into one brotherhood, after
that it is intended to work together for mu.
tual benefit and the benefit of the fire ser
vice of the country. There is no intention
to get mp strikes in the Fire Departments
but always to make advancement in the
science OF lire lighting by mutual counsel
and interchange OF information. Another
object is TO secure for lircmcn Il proper rec.
Ognition for their services and ultimately
provide a fund for relief in case of injury
or death. When the Order was organized
the FiremGn'$ Uoraii, Of New York, was
chosen rs the official organ of the Order,
not that it should advocate it cditOriaily
but that the Secretary should publish each
week in its columns an article, paid for rs
IN advertisement, setting forth the objects,
aims and workings Of the Order. From
the publication OF these articles the Order
has already attained a voluntary member

SCHOLARS AND oITIzENs
Wise Words ON the Nature OF Our Government
and the Duty Of Young Men.

Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, in the
course of IA recent address TO students at
Hamilton College. said: 1T is impossible
Tor one who may call himself n veteran to
come before an audience of young men
without thinking of their future and the
future of their country. Boys are apt TO
think that if they had lived in the past they
would have stood by Luther, have stood by
Cromwell, have stood by Christ. | am not
sure they would. Mostof the men of those
times did not. But even now Christ is con
stantly being cruciticd, constantly needs
defenders.

present, nor in this agitation for constant
change. There is one thing you may be
certain Of, we are bound ~irrcvoCably to the

we shall have universal suffrage. So it is
well for you as thinking mcn 10 examine,
not only your religious belief, but also your

COMMUNICATING NickeIs and old coins.

The counterfciting at present is con,
fined almost entirely to the coin issues OF
the government. 1t is not generally
known hat the nickels and the pennies
are very successfully countorfcited. and
that there is no possible means of de-
tecting Ii spurious from the genuine.
The nickels afford u very handsome profit.
All the countcrfciters nave to do is to 90
to the Revised Statutes and there they
find the materials TO be used in their
making. All of the metal employed is
base. A nickel costs the government
about N cents. If the government
had the exclusive manufacture of these
coins there would be Il great profit in
them. But the coin can be so easily re-
produced that there is no means Of esti-
mating how many of them are put ont Of
the counterfeit class. If the government
should decide to call in this class of coin
they would have to rCGC2m the counter
fcits as well, because they are all made
of exactly the same material us the GOV
ernment'S issue. The bronze pennies are
also countcrfeitcd. There is n profit in
this. The bronze of which the pennies
are made costs t~wcnty-fOur cents Il
pound. A pound of it will make 100 pen
MES. The only way this part of the cur
rency can be detected would bc for CON
gross to change the law SO that bullion to
the value of the coin can be put i'm it.
One of the latest kinds of counterfeit
Ing Is the imitation Of old coins for sale
to the numismatists. One Of the most
ingenious modes Of deception in this class
of work is the changing of the dates of
some common issue of Il certain coin to
the date of Il year whose issue is scarce
ana consequently high. The old Liberty
dollar of s D is very scarce, 1t is said
that there arc only seven genuine coins Of
this issue in this country. The coin is
rated in n~ulnismatic catalogues at value
of $1,000 and upward. The counter
letters have been quite successful in
changing $50 issues to that Of 1904. This
is not counterfeiting in the strict legal
sense of the word, and the treasury Off
Gals would not be able to punish anyone
for this class of o!Tcnsc. But they have
exercised their power to put Il stop to
such work wherever they nave found it
going on.-Waslington Cor. New York

Duplicating the Names Of cities.

The duplication of names in town and
cities is one Of the crying evils with which
the people in general and the Post ONCE
Department in SPECIAL nave to deal. Done
very often from the best of motives-such
as the desire to honor the Father of his
Country, which has dotted the land all over
with Westinghouse is, from whatever
motive done, n stupidity. The idea of
